SearchWP Polylang Integration

Sites built with Polylang often hold the same content in several languages. A default search can return pages from every language at once, which leaves visitors sorting through results they cannot use. This integration addresses that by making SearchWP aware of Polylang, so results follow the language the visitor has selected.

Because it extends SearchWP, you keep the search engine's own controls. You can adjust how content is indexed and ranked, order specific results, and offer live search that updates as people type. The Polylang extension is switched on with one click, so no coding is needed. Analytics help you see what visitors search for across your languages.

Features

• One-click Polylang extension: Turn on the Polylang extension with a single click. No coding or complicated configuration is needed to make your SearchWP search aware of your languages.
• Results in the visitor's language: Search results are filtered by the language the visitor has selected, so people see relevant content in their own language instead of every translation at once.
• Customizable search algorithm: Adjust how content is indexed and ranked across your languages, so the most relevant material appears first for the people searching.
• Live Ajax search: Suggestions and results update as visitors type, which helps them reach the content they want without submitting the search form first.
• Custom result ordering: Promote or demote specific posts, pages or other content types within search results to shape what visitors see first.
• Multilingual search analytics: Review search trends and visitor behavior across your languages to see what people look for and where your content could be improved.
• Works with Polylang's languages: The integration is compatible with the languages you manage in Polylang, including sites that use 50 or more of them.
• Built on SearchWP: It extends the SearchWP core search engine, adding multilingual handling to the search features you already use.
